Being conscious is truly nature’s mystery. How does our brain create our ability to experience what we feel and think? What we experience seems so private and immeasurable from the outside world, this is known as the hard problem of consciousness. The Relativistic Theory of Consciousness is a new theory that proposes a solution to the hard problem using tools from physics. It uses a relativistic approach, expressing that our subjective experience is a relativistic state. It is then measured differently by different observers. In this project we want to check if the theory is correct. We will use EEG data to test the prediction of the theory. The implications of such a theory are huge. It can be applied to determine which animal was the first in the evolutionary process to have consciousness, when a fetus or baby begins to be conscious, which patients with consciousness disorders are conscious, and which AI systems already today have a low degree (if any) of consciousness. 

Consciousness studies is an under funded subject especially for new theories that are outside the box like our theory. We think it is too important to leave it in the ivory tower, so we decided to approach you. After all, this theory will revolutionize the way that we think about humanity and about technology, so why not getting humanity and technology involve in making it happen. In fact, in the past science was funded by royalty patrons. Today, you are the patrons. Let's make a new way of funding science. Let's create this research together.
